When life strikes us with curses instead of blessings, how should we respond? How can we make sense of experiences that conflict with our beliefs? Does Job's story contain any 'good news' about the place of suffering the life of the believer? This book offers guidance to sufferers by identifying three stages in Job's way through pain. In the opening scenes, Job is force to come to terms with the reality that people do not always get what they deserve in life (karma). He is then bombarded with the one-size-fits-all solutions of his friends, who reduce life's complexities to cliches. Finding these unsatisfactory, Job presses on with his own remarkably bold questions until God finally responds to him from a whirlwind. The conversation that ensues leaves Job transformed, though not in any way he could have anticipated. This fresh reading of the book of Job is the second book by Paul Hedley Jones. His first, Sharing God's Passion (2012) was also published to high acclaim.
